Day 7 and 8 - Tau Pan, Central Kalahari
Fly from Moremi to Tau Pan
Tau Pan Camp is an excellent luxury permanent tented camp situated in a prime position deep within the Central Kalahari National Park. It really is remote, being around 50km from the nearest lodge and over 100km from the park entrance to the northeast, to the south there really is nothing for over 200km. The network of pans to the west of camp are very little-visited, more often than not you will have the place completely to yourselves. Tau Pan Camp is a very comfortable affair, set up on a ridge and with views out over the open pan from which it takes its name. The camp is centred centred on a modest building with comfortable lounge and dining areas. There is also a small gift-shop. Out front there is a campfire area on the deck and a small swimming pool off to the right. Guest accommodation is in eight very pleasant suites rooms, accessed by ground-level pathways and with private verandahs and bathrooms. One of the rooms is a family unit, which has a small additional bedroom.
